Valley view

Soak up the view during your stay.
We love this sunny, cosy chic cottage on the city fringe and we think you will too! Wake-up to birdsong and enjoy an easy walk to the Aro Valley Village for a coffee and croissant. There's also the local beer brewery : )

Then its another 15 minute walk to the vibrant Cuba Street for vintage shopping, music venues, dinner and drinks (or a 8 minute Uber ride into town).

Free carparks on the street. Infant friendly with cot & highchair. Plus no cleaning fees.

A 'home away from home' in a great little neighborhood close to a nature reserve and walking distance to town.

Guest access
The entire cottage and front deck is yours to enjoy : )

Other things to note
Parking - spaces available up and down the street. I recommend parking as close to the side of the street as possible and pushing in wing mirrors.

Double Bed - the main room is also very small. If two are staying, one person will need to climb over the other person in order to exit the bed.

Security Camera - there's an external security camera facing the front gate, and facing away from your entertainment area on the deck. There are no other cameras.

Steps - this is a single level home, but there is one step onto the outside deck, and a step up to the bathroom, plus a step into the double bedroom.

Noise - You may hear the neighbors also enjoying their homes & gardens and we ask that you'll also be respectful.
There's some building work taking place across the road. I believe they'll work during work hours and weekdays.

Smoking outside is OK - it’s okay to vape or smoke outside on the covered deck.

BBQ grill - please clean the grill before you leave with the provided brush, handy towels and oil. do not use water on the black grill part. Please let me know if the gas bottle is empty as I can easily replace for you : )

Rubbish - the black bin for general rubbish& the yellow/black wheelie bin for clean recycling paper/cardboard, tin & plastics (numbers 1, 2 & 5). No lids & only clean, washed items please. The green bin is glass only.

Dehumidifier - this works great in the cooler months helping to keep the cottage dry & warmer. You'll need to empty the water tank to keep it going : )

This property is compliant with Healthy Homes Guarantee Act 2017 and a lawful dwelling according to RTA 1986. You'll also have 'full enjoyment' of the cottage without uninvited visits from me - or a tradesperson (unless an urgent need).

Where you’ll be

Wellington, New Zealand

Aro Valley is a funky and vibrant community that's a sanctuary just a short walk from town. We're close to a wide range of restaurants and bars around Cuba Street. Most of the popular attractions are within walking distance.
The local no.25 bus stop is at the end of the street - a 7 minute walk away with a direct route to the main Wellington train/bus station.
